*Abstract*
Those who have asked who should compensate for harm due to solar
geoengineering have been preoccupied with a version of the Polluter Pays
Principle according to which compensatory obligations befall deployers of
the technology. But there is an alternative (but not mutually exclusive)
interpretation. According to it, non-deploying greenhouse gas emitters are
liable to compensate for harm due to solar geoengineering since they have
contributed to the circumstances rendering it an understandable response to
the threat of climate change. Such an Emitter Pays Principle is normatively
attractive, especially in cases where deployment is a venial act of
self-defense.
